The weather during the holidays was
out of sorts for pleasure. Our club gave

and many were kept away. An oyster

succeeded well, all things considered.
The genial c. II. Fenwick has been

WELAkA NOTES.

special Correspondence PAlatka NEWS.
The weather is all the topic now days,
ard all agree on one thing. that Is. the
cold changes are past for the season. and
no damage has been done, TO speak of.
4 few oranges i'm most exposed places.
are dropping, not enough to notice
That there was some scare no one doubts,
and u Is a question If the weather re-
ports are of any great advantage. There
is hardly time enough to secure much
fruit. when we are notified. And again
the weather bureau often predicts colds
when there is none. Again should a
freeze like last winter come, the chances
are all fruit would be classed as frozen
the same as done a year ago. one man
here gathered one hundred and fifty
boxes. and they had been in the cold,
yet they would have been better if now
on the trees. Yet his precaution
was for the best. Suppose panic
would take us all. and every body gather
on prediction of freeze, it looks to me
as If il would be a most damaging bust
ness. Take the advice of TIE NEWS
and keep cool and level-headed.

PALATKA, FLA. January 9Th, 1887.
Editor of the PALArKA NEWS:
Your article in The NEWS of to-day,
volcing a kind expression Of your feel
ings with regard to the manner in which
the Street Committee destroyed the
beautiful palmetto trees that 1 had taken
50 much pains to transplant, to say moth
ing OF the expense, was not only timely
but a fitting rebuke. l find on page 81,
Digest of Ordinances of the City of Pa
latka. approved by Council September

dent Of Board of Council. Attest, VIM.
F. Forward, Clerk Of Council. Approved

planting trees upon the sidewalks shall
be required to plant such trees eight feet

wards; and on ali streets which are less
than sixty feet wide, said trees shall be
pl8nteO SIX rect IIOtu the DOunuary line
Of said streets. If any person or persons
shall plant or cause to be planted any
tree or trees otheT1r,se than Is herein pre-
scribed, they shall be required 10 renoUe
the same ,rithiu three days after being
duly notified by the Marshal to do the
same. Any person failing to remove
said tree or trees after due notification,
shall pay fine of not more than ., etc. !.
ETC., etc"
Now, the Street Committee did not
notify me that these trees were in the
gutter or ditch, and that they desired
them moved. Neither did the Marshal
notify me - required by the Ordir ance.
The first intimation l had Of this fact
was the information seut me by Q kind
friend at 10 O'Clock q. m. on the sth,
..thst the trees had been dug up and
thrown away on the eth 1.-THE day pre-
vious).
Taking into consideration that en-
ployed the best surveyor l could find IN
this county 10 locate those trees, and
having paid one hundred dollars 70
transplant them two years ago, am led
to believe that the action Of Mr.. Boyd,
the member Of the Street Committee
who directed the destruction, was viii
fully malicious and an evidence Of spite
fulness OF no low order.

The public has an impression that great
many Of the cartoons that are published in
the illustrated papers are the result Of
sketches and suggestions sent in by various
people. Mr.. Gl.0a tells . Tribune reportes
that the contrary is true. "Out of leo
sketches" said he, scarcely one win b
found available for use in pushcAtion.
What an artist wants is ideas and 'pointsrs.'
and suggestions as to the great movements
that are on foot, and as To the great meas
ures that are coming up for discussion
Pictures readily suggests themselves tha
artist receives this sort OF information" Ths
artists labor under serious disadvantage in
working on colored prints like thosr Of The
Judge and Puck because they must forecast
public affairs and tie sensations Of the day.

Capt. j. III. Welsh, of Welshton, is in
town. He is just issuing an edition of
100000 copies Of a little paper with the
above title, in which can be found much
valuable information in regard to Flor
ida, and particularly of Welshton and it's
vicinity. The paper is handsomely illus
trated, and will no doubt be the means of
settling great many new corners in this
section of Florida.

On Sunday night three white men

The City Council has given the contract
for overhauling and fitting up the Jail,
so that twill be safe to Mr.. Lock wood,
who will make it so secure that these
periodical escapes will be impossible.
We hope that the officials may be able
to recapture these prisoners. and that
they may be punished as their offenses
may merit.
We learn that the trees spoken of by
Major o. w. Cromwell, in q communi.
cation published elsewhere. as having
been destroyed by the Street Committee
have been replanted on the edge Of the
street. One of the City Fathers say,
that the trees appear to be about as good
now as ever, and promise to flourish fol-
many years.
